Inside the Industry: Retail (Closets)

Louisiana Custom Closets

What started as a one-man operation out of a home garage has grown over the last 12 years into one of the area’s best-known businesses for closets and storage space across Southeastern Louisiana’s home design industry. With in the first five years, owner Don Wise was able to gradually grow and move his business, finally settling into its current location—a comprehensive manufacturing facility complete with showroom and administrative and design offices. Today, Louisiana Custom Closets uses leading technology and CAD software for the design and manufacturing of custom closets, pantries, home offices, garages, and more.

Wise recognizes that adding custom closets and organized storage spaces increases the value of a home. He and his team can maximize storage in historic homes, as well as take advantage of space in a new build. After meeting with customers and determining needs, Louisiana Custom Closets provides 3D drawings that enable customers to visualize their new space immediately. Using high quality materials, the company then custom-builds each closet in their own warehouse.

In keeping with the latest trends and advances, Louisiana Custom Closets recently added new, textured wood grain colors to their product line, increasing the number of options for homeowners or builders requiring a specific look, whether a dark mahogany for a stately home office or a light and vibrant stain for a child’s playroom or closet.

“We are successful because customer service is our number one priority,” says Wise. “We take care of even the smallest detail to make our customers happy.”
